Unless you’ve always had that widows peak, it looks like you may be starting to lose your hair due to MPB. But it’s okay! I would say to schedule and appointment with a dermatologist but we really can’t right now unfortunately (I’m in the same boat). But you could try to start Fin but I know people are hesitant due to the side effects (also in the same boat). If you want you could start Minixidil while we’re in quarantine as no one would really notice the initial thinning which would be nice. Best option id say is to look up some natural DHT blocking solutions or shampoos until you can see a dermatologist and get proper treatment. Hope I’m wrong about the MPB, I’m 18 and also terrified of losing my hair this young. Best of luck my friend.Comment

It's really hard to tell because you're so young. Don't let anyone on this sub tell you whether you're balding or not. Only a dermatologist can tell you that at this early stage. I've seen people who I assumed were going to be bald because they had "receding hairlines" or "thinning on the back" but years later their hair still remained. Go to a dermatologist and get it checked out.Comment
